Mothersworry Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Revell kit built totally box stock, no additional parts, just paint, foil, and decals. Finished to replicate a "factory fresh" Dart. Chassis features factory paint codes that identify the parts on the production line for specific builds and inspection paint daub marks on various fasteners. Wheel wells have "Body Schutz" sound deadner applied. Red lines are hand painted, front and rear suspensions have factory correct finishes such as the front lower control arm "Cosmoline" coating. Built this kit when it wuz first issued. Edited March 14, 2023 by Mothersworry Spelling error 16

Kinda sorta hand painted...I use an old cassette tape player. I installed a wheel in the capstan so I can place tires onto it, I push play and set a brush with color (acrylic paint) onto the tire and it makes perfect circles for redlines or what ever color I want. 5

As I recall the decals came from "The Last Detail". They made detail decals for many muscle type cars. Dunno if they're still in business, I had heard that some one in Australia wuz making the decals but that wuz some time ago.
larman Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Excellent job! The paint and details are outstanding!
dragstk Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 That is a really nice build. Really clean. You should be proud!
BeakDoc Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Gorgeous Dart. Outstanding attention to detail. And the tape deck circle painting apparatus is pure genius.
FatboyLowrider Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Amazing job. You must have some hours tied up in that beauty. ?
89AKurt Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Complete with factory inspection color dabs! Wish I didn't destroy a tape player to scavenge parts. ?
